Over 30% of the surface of bare silicon is reflective. So, anti-reflection coatings (ARC) and surface texturing both help to reduce reflection. Solar cell anti-reflection coatings are comparable to those used on other optical devices like camera lenses. What is Anti-Reflection Coating or ARC?
The author demonstrated great future of development of coating layer on PV panel where its great self-cleaning effect is enhanced by the mechanical sound absorption into the PV module and hydrophilic coating. The photocatalyst coating can increase the efficiency of solar cell by 2% and maximum power upto 4%.
Apart from these methods, lithography, screen printing, and roll-to-roll methods have been used in a few applications. However, the high temperature applied to the coatings on solar cells disrupts the PV properties of the solar cells. The purpose of the application of the heat is to ensure that the coating adheres to the surface.
When sunlight shines on the photovoltaic panel, part of the visible light will be reflected, and the rest will be converted and utilized. Therefore, the transparency and anti-reflection of the self-cleaning coatings applied on photovoltaic modules cannot be ignored.
The self-cleaning coating has attracted extensive attention in the photovoltaic industry and the scientific community because of its unique mechanism and high adaptability. Therefore, an efficient and stable self-cleaning coating is necessary to protect the cover glass on the photovoltaic panel. There are many self-cleaning phenomena in nature.
When applied to photovoltaic modules, it is crucial to consider the factors such as self-cleaning, transparency, anti-reflection, anti-icing, and durability. In future research, it is significant to improve the transparency, durability, and self-cleaning properties of coatings.
